Aside from the markings (which others can detail better than me) you notice the
curved grooves scraped into base, this indicates that these were fired from a
Hotchkiss revolving cannon (German made under licence). These were commonly used in Balloon defence
and in ground support.
Thanks. That’s very interesting - I had pondered the significance of the curving grooves. Going with the AA theme, I have put a ball tracer projectile in one of them.
